I recently purchased the card below, which claims to contain a frame of microfilm flown on Apollo 14. As you can see, this is a microfilm transfer of one of the pages from the Apollo 11 Manned Flight Awareness booklet. I managed to view the film by holding it under a light, and its contents indeed match those of one of the Apollo 11 MFA booklet pages. However, the only officially documented instance I could find of a microfilmed Apollo 11 MFA booklet being flown to the moon occurred on Apollo 15, when Jim Irwin left a copy on the lunar surface. I can't find any official mention of a booklet being on Apollo 14. Rather, it seems that there are only rumors of such an occurrence. And, while the presentation is signed by one "Paul Hartunian," I am not familiar with him or his reputability. So, can anyone offer any history on this item and whether or not it actually made the trip? |
